Indictment Of Hochul Aide Shows Red China Is Far Greater Threat Than Kremlin Propaganda
Kathy Hochul joins a growing list of prominent Democrats plausibly compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, up to and including Joe Biden and Tim Walz.
A Los Angeles Police Department volunteer officer responded to a 911 call about a man being terrorized by a swarm of bees, only to be attacked by the insects himself, leading to his hospitalization.
The aggressive swarm of bees reportedly attacked people around 4 p.m. in Encino, California, according to the Daily Mail. The volunteer LAPD officer responded to the emergency call on Adlon Road to help out a man who was hiding inside his car in attempt to avoid the insects.
The bees then swarmed the volunteer, and video showed the man trying to swat the bugs away until he eventually tripped on what appeared to be a rock in the road, smashing his head on the pavement.

The man can be seen bleeding from his face as a pool of blood forms beneath him. He then gathers himself and staggers to his feet. He was eventually assisted by emergency services on the side of the road. Fox 11 Los Angeles reports that he was treated at local hospital for bee stings as well as a broken eye socket.
Three people in total were hospitalized over stings: the officer, the man who called in the insect attack, and another woman who was stung by the bees but took herself to the hospital, according to the Washington Times.
A professional bee remover was called to the scene. He then located the hive and removed the hundreds and possibly thousands of bees from the area.
"One of our LAPD Volunteers assigned to West Valley Division sustained dozens of bee stings earlier today while assisting with a call for service. Fortunately he’s in stable condition at a local hospital," the LAPD said in a statement.
"Wishing him a speedy and full recovery. We thank him for volunteering to protect and serve. All of our LAPD volunteers are invaluable," the statement added.
A fundraiser for the LAPD volunteer has already tripled its stated goal.
A swarm of bees recently delayed a Delta Airlines flight in Houston, Texas. The bees covered the end of one of the plane's wings, leaving airport authorities at a loss for what to do.
The airline joked with onlooking customers, saying, "A friendly group of bees evidently wanted to talk shop with the winglet," and "No doubt to share the latest about flying conditions at the airport.”
One delayed passenger chronicled the event, which eventually ended in the plane's engine deterring the insects:
"As soon as our plane's engine turned on, the bees left!!! All Delta had to do was turn on the plane," she wrote.

A massive fireball erupted from a Russian Navy amphibious ship while it was docked in the Russian-occupied port of Berdyansk in southern Ukraine on Thursday. The Ukrainian navy asserted the tank-landing ship had been "destroyed."
Video shows a huge explosion and fire on the Project 1171 Alligator-class landing ship Orsk. A thick black plume of smoke billowed from the fiery ship and spread over the harbor.
Ukrainian media are reporting that a Russian ship was hit in the port of Berdyansk by a Ukrainian missile, according to a Ukrainian deputy. The ship was carrying fuel for Russian forces.pic.twitter.com/31QFNRn7Vr— UkraineWarReports\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@UkraineWarReports\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1648104630
БЕРДЯНСК: взрывы и пожар в порту 24 марта 2022 года www.youtube.com
"There have been claims made that the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack on the Orsk, potentially using one of their Tochka (SS-21 Scarab) short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), but there’s so far no evidence to confirm exactly what led to the inferno on the vessel," the Drive reported.
The Ukrainian navy claimed on Facebook, "In the temporarily captured Russian port Berdyansk, a large paratrooper ship 'Orsk' of the Black Sea Fleet of occupiers was destroyed."
Ukraine’s armed forces celebrated on social media by saying, "The morning starts with good news! The large landing ship 'Orsk' of the Black Sea Fleet of the occupiers was destroyed in the captured Russian port of Berdyansk."
"That’s only the beginning,” a Ukrainian military source told the Times.

The 370-foot ship can transport as many as 425 troops as well as 20 tanks or 40 armored vehicles and is beachable to unload vehicles on land.
Two Project 775 Ropucha-II class landing ships — Tsesar Kunikov and Novocherkassk — had burning debris on their decks, and the fires were quickly extinguished, according to military analyst H.I. Sutton.

"It marks the largest ship that Ukrainian forces have managed to strike so-far and represents another embarrassing loss for Vladimir Putin's beleaguered army," according to the Daily Mail.
A day before the strike, Russian state media was touting the ships supplying reinforcements at the captured port city on the Sea of Azov. The video shows armored personnel carriers being extracted from the Orsk.
"By land, air and now sea, Russian troops continue to advance and reinforce into Ukraine," RT reporter Murad Gazdiev said in the video. "The Azov Sea, with its ports and towns, is now under Russian control...which has allowed Russia's Black Sea fleet to and the Orsk landing ship to stage this operation."

Berdyansk was captured by Russian military forces on Feb. 27. The port city is roughly 50 miles southwest of the besieged city of Mariupol.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that approximately 100,000 people are enduring "inhumane conditions" in Mariupol.
"For more than a week now, we have been trying to organize stable humanitarian corridors for Mariupol residents. And almost all our attempts, unfortunately, are disrupted by the Russian occupiers. By shelling or deliberate terror," Zelenskyy said during a televised address.
Zelenskyy said the people of Maiupol have "no food, no water, no medicine."
The local council in Mariupol said Russian airstrikes were turning the city into the "ashes of a dead land."
Drone footage released this week by Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs shows the devastation to Mariupol after weeks of heavy shelling by the Russian military. Russian bombardments from artillery, airstrikes, and naval vessels have turned the city into ruins.
